ingredients
● 2 cups cooked rice
● 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
● 2 limes (juiced)
● 1/2 onion (diced)
● 3 to 4 cloves garlic (minced)
● 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or olive oil)
● 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (or pinto beans; drained)
● 1 tablespoon chili powder
● 1/2 teaspoon cumin
● 1 tablespoon hot sauce (or to taste)
● Optional: pinch salt (to taste)
● 2 (10-inch) whole wheat TORTILLAS
directions
1. Gather the ingredients.
2. In a large bowl, toss together cooked rice and fresh chopped cilantro, and drizzle with a bit of fresh lime juice. Heat in the microwave or on the stove just until hot, and give it a quick stir.
3. In a separate large skillet, sauté the garlic and onion in vegetable oil or olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion is soft.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the black beans or pinto beans and season with the chili powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine. You can add a bit of salt if you’d like, but you shouldn’t need too much with all the other seasonings. Allow the beans to cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
